NASA scientists have spotted a mysterious X-shaped debris pattern with trailing streamers of dust that is unlike any image astronomers have seen before.
The behavior is not typical of comets, UCLA investigator David Jewitt explains, and researchers believe something unprecedented has been spotted:

This is quite different from the smooth dust envelopes of normal comets. [...] The filaments are made of dust and gravel, presumably recently thrown out of the nucleus. Some are swept back by radiation pressure from sunlight to create straight dust streaks. Embedded in the filaments are co-moving blobs of dust that likely originated from tiny unseen parent bodies.

I heard this mentioned on the BBC radio news at 9am this morning, so its obviously going 'mainstream'.

Could it be the oft-talked about mysterious 'planet X'?

A diversion from something else - such as the mysterious objects seen near the sun a few days ago?

*'Sweeps' NOTE:
...ANOTHER Simon and All, in the 'We're just the beginning of finding out' that we don't know the 1st thing category. Or is it that these REALLY are new phenomenon which Science hasn't see before? Anyway, seems 'we' are getting HIT with stranger/newer things in our spheres of Mind...which just might 'bring on' whole original re-think of who and what we are. Couldn't hurt...hopefully?/'S'

well, Sweeps, I'm sure you've heard something like this said before.... the more you learn the less you realise you know!

*YUP,
...But one might consider that 'recognition' as a higher state/level of Consciousness. Wonder how many people are really 'There' yet/'S'

Oh, really? I thought of it as a sign of 'experience', as when a person is 'getting on a bit' (old age looms!). .. oh and also the lines in a pop-song which I can recall hearing over the years.

Right now its late night and Crazy Guy is is 'ready' to crash out - and 'not ready' to do that in a box which goes 6ft under!

Seriously, yes I know what you mean, but am in denial, partly as this sort of thing only happens to 'other' people, but also because of a desire to avoid an ego trip.

Anyway, bring it on. But with greater understanding, self-knowledge and inner guidance.
